A Hensall man has been honored with a Canadian Award for Business Excellence, Julian G, Bayley is the winner of a 1987 Cer- tificate of Merit for entrepreneurship. Mr. Bayley applied for the award after the considerable successof the Pineridge Barbecue Company, the business he owns with his partner Bill Taylor. He wasn't real- ly expecting to win the award, but had an idea his chances were good because of the success of his business, and because it is was the first business of its kind in Canada. There were only 21 awards of this kind given - throughout all of . Canada and only six in Ontario. — Mr:-Bayleyst'arted-Pineridge-three-years— ago as something to do on the side. He was then working in agricultural advertising in Hensall. When organizing functions where a great many people had to be fed his agency ran into the problem that caterers, service clubs, and church groups couldn't get enough volunteers to service large groups of people. So Mr. Bayley invested in the Pineridge system to help solve this problem and as extra work. The system enables one person (and one very large barbecue) to feed thousands of people. The system itself is the first of its kind. In Canada, but it has been in operation in the U.S. That is where Mr. Bayley got his. The system is a large trailer barbecue that is about as long as a pickup. Inside the barbecue, wire baskets carry the meat slow- ly over hardwood charcoal to cook it, and on each rotation the meat filled baskets are dipped in the company's `special' sauce for seasoning, FED 3,000 • To get an idea of how much meat this thing can cook, Bill 'Taylor alone cooked 1,400 pounds of beef, enough food for 3,000 people. The machine can also be used to feed small gatherings. The biggest feed the company has done so far was the Honda Motor Company Ap- preciation Day where Pineridge fed almost. 15,000 people for a casual lunch. Also this year Pineridge was at the Stonebridge Farms Show and Auction where an audience of over 5,000, including movie and TV stars and several sports celebrities, attended the sale of some of Dr. Cole's famous Egyp- award , u so i tr:�� : a„ RECOGNIZED CANADA -WIDE - Julian G.

To his left is his partner Bill Taylor and to his right is employee Andrew Saunders, Corbett photo. tian/Arabian horses. It was also at the. Dave Scatcherd Invitational Golf' Tournament in Grand Bend which attracts many local business people to help raise funds for the Scatcherd Home for Children. The Pineridge Company started snowball- ing three years ago and still hasn't slowed in its growth. In the 1987 season, which runs from May to October for Pineridge, the company did 69 barbecues in July, 57 in June, and over 40 in August. There are already 50 outings booked for 1988. As for expansion Mr. BayIey's company now consists of three machines, but will have to add one or two more next year, In addition to this Mr. Bayley is the Canadian distributor of the machines and has ap- pointed operators in Ottawa, Peterborough and Penticton, British Columbia. He may also put two or three of the machines in. Toronto, one in Calgary for the Olympic Games, another in Ottawa, and is hoping to take one of the machines to the Carribbean with him next fall, as he feels there is a good market for his business there. • •MACHINE TO ENGLAND • Andrew Saunders, who has been working with Bayley and Taylor for the past two years, is from England and is working here on a work permit. He is going to be taking one of the machines with him back to England to start the business up over there. Mr. Bayley believes the reason for his suc- cess is he provides value for money. One big market is for fund raising. "If you have a kid selling an over -priced chocolate bar," he said, "people are going to give him two bucks just to get him out of their hair. But when you provide people with a nice meal they don't mind parting with a few dollars for a good cause." The barbecue system will be demonstrated in the prairie provinces, Quebec and the Maritimes over the next 12 months. The award was announced by the Honorable Michele Cote, Minister of Regional and Industrial Expansion. Mr. Bayley expects to be receiving the award certificate in the mail soon. • Directory distributed to County council Members of Huron County Council have been presented with copies of the new coan- ty information directory. Copies of the 340 page booklet, prepared by the Huron County Community Services Council (HCCSC I, were received by members of council at their regular September session in Goderich. The presen- tation was made by HCCSC Chairman Dave Overboe: Mr. Overboe told council the directory is the product of the co-operation of three levels of government. On the whole, he said, he considers the book to be the most com- plete directory of its kind. The new directory is anaijpdate of the ver- sion prepared in 1979 by the Huron Informa- tion and Multi -Service Centre and contains an extensive list of the many services available to residents of Huron County. Primarily organized geographically by municipality for easy access of information, the directory also contains two other geographical -municipal sections to assist the user. The Huron County section contains information on agencies which service the entire county, while the regional offices sec- tion lists information on agencies located outside the county, but which service Huron as well. Agencies contributing to the directory in- clude: Goderich Canada Employment Cen- tre, Women Today, Huron County Social Services Department, Huron County Department of Planning and Development, and the Huron County Emergency Plan- ner's office. Funding was provided by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food's Farmers in Transition program through the Ministry of Community and Social Services, and by Employment and Immigration Canada through a Summer Employment Ex- perience Development grant. County turns down money request k;- Huron County Council has approved the recommendation of its management com- mittee and turned down two requests for grants,made by Community Living -Central Huron, formerly -known as the Goderich and District Association for the Mentally Retarded. In the first of its two requests, the associa- tion was seeking financial support to, among other items, send children to camp at $510 each. The second grand request sought financial assistance to help the 0113__Ass per cent of operating costs for the Lady Diana Nursery School. Tuckersmith Township Reeve Bob Bell, in presenting the management committee report, told members of council the requests were the second and third.from the associa- SEAFORTH SEBRINGVILLE SEPTEMBER VALUES SEAFORTH OPEN: Mon. - Fri. 8 - 12; 1 - 5:30 Saturday 8 - 12:30 POWER TOOLS HAND TOOLS "TABLE TOOLS 4,/o O3O!F 25 %OFF LIST FELDMANN WINDOWS 30 % oFF L�ST 1 ONLY SPECIAL 5' FRENCH DOORS • STEEL INSULATED KILN DRIED HARD -SOFT WOODS *RED OAK *HARD MAPLE *TEAK .. •PHILLIPINE MAHOGANY •BASSWOOD *ONTARIO WHITE PINE 580000 QUALITY & SERVICE SINCE 1906 S'EARORtH, ONTARIO NOK 1W0 tion this year. He pointed out council had already paid a grant of $350 to the associa- tion as provided in the 1985 county budget. Council also accepted the committee's recommendation to deny a grant request from the Canadian Council on Social Development. The group was seeking a grant of $500 or more to be used toward a two-part project to inquire into the situation of homelessness in Canada. Council and its management committee, however, were not locked into just refusing grant requests. On he recommendatian of the committee, council approved grants for: Huron West Women's Institute, $15; Huron South Women's Institute, $15; and Clinton Branch 140 Royal Canadian Legion, $150 to be used for First World War veterans. Firefighters called to ATC fire Members of the Seaforth Fire Depart- ment were called away from their toll booths in aid of Muscular Dystrophy to come to the aid of a McKillop Township Farmer. Fire Chief George Garrick said an All Ter- rain Cycle (ATC) burst into flames after its William Poppe tried to start it and move it "with the gas tank removed. The local fire department arrived on the scene approximately six minutes later but the Polities had already put the fire out by that time. The Cycle and the shed it was inside were well scorched. Pops are open all day Thursday Ontario's 34th provincial general election will take place on Thursday. Approximately' six million Ontario residents will be eligible to cast their ballot throughout the province's 130 electoral districts.

Arbitrator rules s from page IA Constable Akey added he has to wonder if in the end it will all be worth it, "Initially at conciliation we (the town and the police) were only a few hundred dollars apart from reaching a twayear settlement: What has happened now is We've both spent a great deal of moneyto get a one-yearset- tlement that puts us right back at the bargaining table (negotiations for 1988 Wage increases will soon begin)," he said. Constable Akey said he expects the result of this arbitration will pffect future wage negotiations. "We still have the same arguments. We still feel the same way Nothing on our side has changed," he said, adding employee- employer relations will be strained. , "The employees feel used." Clerk Crocker oh the other hand said the town exnect's the arbitration Will have a positive effect on future wage negotiations: "1 think we settled some issues and I think in effect what has happened will improve the entire negotiating process," he said. "We (the town) now have an outside view of Where our pollee force fits into area forces oath scale." In preparation for the arbitration the Seaforth Police Association spentapprox- imately $1,400 The town spent $1,200 for a lawyer to represent its side at the eoncilta= tion meetings and the arbitration: He also prepared' the brief Clerk Crocker said the number of meetings of the negotiating com= mittee were fewer than in past years because of the fact both parties came quick- ly to 2n impasse. Pay for council Met/tett attending those meetings were therefore minimal, Beth.sides eontrib'Uted quite a minter of volunteer man hours in preparation for the arbitration.
